This file describes the contents of the replication data and code for "Falling Living Standards during the COVID-19 Crisis" available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SBUFNN. 

The code contained here replicates all tables and figures in the paper. To run properly, please set the appropriate directory in the following two places:
-line 18 of 0_COVID_MC_MASTER.do
-line 17 of Figure_1_replication.R
Furthermore, the file Figure_S1_replication.Rmd relies on local folder references and therefore must use the code folder as its working directory.

1) code
-0_COVID_MC_MASTER.do : Sets global directory references and then calls the code to generate all intermediate data and to reproduce the tables and figures generated using Stata. Output includes Table 2, Figure 2, Table S1, Table S2, and Figure S1. Replication directory must be set in line 18.
-2_Export_*.do : Generate the summary statistics on falling living standards in Table 2 for each sample.
-Figure_1_replication.R : Creates the event study graphs in Figure 1. Replication directory must be set in line 17.
-Figure_2_replication.do : Creates the seasonal food insecurity graphs in Figure 2.
-3_Export_*_RT.do : Generate the summary statistics on sample representativeness in Table S1 for each sample.
-4_Export_*_IT.do : Generate the summary statistics on rising living standards in Table S2 for each sample.
-Figure_S1_replication.Rmd : Creates the graphical representation of Table 2 with standard errors in Figure S1. Relies on local folder references with the code folder as the working directory.
-Figure_S2A_replication.do : Creates the recall data comparison in Panel A of Figure S2.
-Figure_S2B_replication.do : Creates the recall data comparison in Panel B of Figure S2.

2) data
Contains data files from which all tables and figures are generated.

3) rawdata
Contains raw data from select Kenyan subsamples from which intermediate data files are constructed.

4) results
Stores output created by replication code.
